Friday and Saturday nights at Desert Palm Resort in Dubai. Very good hotel and the Polo Suite (no 50) we stayed in was suberb, big, very well laid out and great view of the polo field and Dubai skyline in the distance. We arrived in the middle of brunch which looked fun but was fully booked. I would suggest when... More

I have to say the Desert Palm is my favourite hotel in the whole world! It is a true personal service boutique hotel. The setting is gorgeous surrounded by polo fields and palm trees. You are not overlooked by buildings. The ambiance is of equestrianism but you don't have to be a horse lover to love this hotel. If you... More

If we could recommend one 'totally different yet exquisite boutique hotel in the UAE' this would be it. Having stayed in many hotels in Dubai, this is one hotel, that stands out in terms of tranquility, style, little touches & details and the personal touch to comfort. Even the toilets are well thought about with a lovely sun roof! Cosily... More

This place is another alternative to vacation in Dubai. I have been traveling to Emirates for the last 11 years and this time wanted something calm and different. Desert Palm is right outside Dubai heading to Hatta. The resort is amazing. So green, so beautiful, a joy for the eyes. The villa we were in was very lovely and with... More

We loved this hotel - it's small, tranquil (a bit of road noise but I imagine that's hard to escape anywhere in Dubai), and relaxing. We stayed for 1 night when we first arrived in Dubai, then returned for 2 more nights later the same week after a trip to Abu Dhabi and before returning home. The first night we... More

My partner and I have just returned home from a 6 night stay in a pool villa at The Desert Palm Resort. We have likened our holiday to a 'honeymoon', and would recommend a stay here on many levels. They are a few points to mention which might frustrate the more particular traveller who is looking for a faultless 5*... More

The Desert Palm is a cool location close to a POLO Area. The rooms in the main building are great! I can't imagine how the villas looks like... The restaurants are not cheap but very good. A lot of locals there in the evening. I think the are living in the villas. The hotel is about 30 minutes taxi drive... More

I attended a conference at Desert Palm by end of January and during the 5 nights there, the service was good, albeit they were not able to find my reserve at my check in at 2:00am after long trip from London. The rooms are huge and the Polo Villa with a private pool is great even during Dubai's "winter". The... More
